windows rubber seals

Post by petroscf »

I recently purchased from Satisfied inc the outer rubber seals for my windows (driver and co driver doors)
As we are currently refreshing the inner door panels (already retrimmed in leather), we wanted to replace the sills as well by the new ones.
However, the car had 2 different parts (the one iirc was inside the other) in that place. The new part is only one item
Looked into the W+N pictures encyclopaedia and found this:

If I understand well, it seems the car had parts 09 and 10 (41/10/09 and 41/10/10), and the part that "satisfied inc" sent to me is part no.41/10/14

And they seem to be separated in that picture, to my understanding, parts 09 and 10 go together, and part 14 goes by itself

We haven't yet tested if windows operate normally as car is sat at the upholsterer's for more than 2 months and my (new!!) battery is dead :goodnight
But the part seemed to fit ok

Any help on this will be most welcome

Thanks in advance

Yeah 9 and 10 combined are the outer strip, aluminum and rubber, 14 is the inner strip

Hi Jeroen, thanks for reply

However, it seems that both combination of 09-10 and the 14 alone, are outer strips:

Quoting the link for 14 from W+N

https://www.wallothnesch.com/en/outer-s ... 10-14.html

to my understanding (and that's what I am trying to find out) the 14 somehow replaces the combination of 09-10?

Otherwise I will have a major problem, as my 09-10 are completely "burnt" and they can't go back to operation, meaning that I need to find new ones (which I guess is impossible?)

Quoting as well a link of what I bought and fitted, from Satisfied Inc., which, if I understood correctly, should be the no 14,
of course I could be mistaken:

This is a one-off strip, not 2 combined parts

At least, does anyone know where these strips can be found?
I guess that, after 49+ years (in my car) and not big differences in other peoples cars in here, all these are totally rotten, and ideally, they should be replaced
